This debate between two philosophers ventures into the bog of obfuscatory language and dense argumentation, not easily followed by even the well educated. Craig starts, and spends an inordinate amount of time demolishing a position his opponent doesn't even hold, forcing his opponent to defend a position that isn't his own. Craig returns ad infinitum to the problem of infinity, giving a ridiculous analogy that makes no sense at all, and insisting that this is a solid argument well grounded in logic. Overall, i wouldn't waste your time; Craig's arguments, once you sift out the noise, simply don't hold water, but it's difficult to follow at times, making it seem more learned and grounded than it really is. There are many better treatments of the same subject, from both sides of the argument. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Contemporary science presents us with the remarkable theory that the universe began to exist about fifteen billion years ago with a cataclysmic explosion called "the Big Bang." The question of whether Big Bang cosmology supports theism or atheism has long been a matter of discussion among the general public and in popular science books, but has received scant attention from philosophers. This book sets out to fill this gap by means of a sustained debate between two philosophers, William Lane Craig and Quentin Smith, who defend opposing positions. Craig argues that the Big Bang that began the universe was created by God, while Smith argues that the Big Bang has no cause. Alternating chapters by the two philosophers criticize and attempt to refute preceding arguments. Their arguments are based on Einstein's theory of relativity and include a discussion of the new quantum cosmology recently developed by Stephen Hawking and popularized in A Brief History of Time.
